The 411
Google has a great new service available free of charge. While I don’t normally promote the services of other businesses on this blog, this is just too good not to share.
If you’ve never used “Goog 411″ let me enlighten you.
Simply dial (800)-GOOG-411 on any phone. You’ll hear a prompter ask you for a city and state. Say your city and state, then tell the computer what you are looking for, like pizza, chinese food or an auto repair shop. You can also give it the exact name of a business, like, say, Walgreens.
The service will not only hook you up with the number, but if you are on a cell phone, it will give you the option of having directions sent via text message. ***NOTE*** text fees do apply if you opt for the text directions option; however, having them connect you directly to the business via your telephone is absolutely free.
I can’t tell you how awesome I think this service is. Click here for more from Google about Goog 411.
